CCML will conduct an interactive tele-video conference annual meeting on Wednesday, April 24, from 8:30 a.m. - 11:45 a.m. The meeting will be broadcast from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center School of Nursing, Room 2940. A list of contact persons for the remote sites appears below. The meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. with networking and refreshments. The annual business meeting and lunch will follow the program.
Some opportunities seized and new projects at work at Denison Memorial Library, UCHSC, will be discussed in a panel. Bring your questions and ideas and tune in to the expertise of the following Denison Memorial Librarians:
Site coordinators/contact persons for the remote videoconference sites are:
Thanks are due to Liz Alme for coordinating the program, Lynne Fox for coordinating the videoconference, Daphne Norsworthy for arranging the catering, and to the site coordinators listed above. We are also grateful for the support of NN/LM-MR for the videoconferencing costs, Majors for assisting with lunch, and MD Consult for refreshments.

For more than ten years, Denison Memorial Library has provided ILL lending credits to non-charging Colorado libraries. There are now two electronic ILL billing systems that Colorado libraries can use to receive credit for items they supply to Denison Library.
EFTS can virtually eliminate the need to create invoices and checks to reimburse participants for ILL service. The EFTS web site provides detailed information about how EFTS works, plus the forms necessary to sign on and begin using EFTS. Registered libraries upload ILL transactions on a monthly basis and receive regular statements of their ILL transactions and a current balance. Accounts are debited or credited and net lenders are sent reimbursement checks quarterly.
IFM allows users of OCLC Interlibrary Loan to pay, and be paid for, ILL charges through their OCLC invoices, without the hassle of multiple invoices and the cost of cutting multiple checks. Borrowers enter a dollar amount and “IFM” in the MAXCOST field of the OCLC ILL workform. The lender enters an equal or lesser dollar amount and “IFM” in the LENDING CHARGES field. OCLC responds with a confirming message. Charges and credits appear on monthly OCLC invoices/ statements. OCLC's ILL Fee Management Service web site provides complete information about IFM, including access to free IFM reports.
There are small EFTS and IFM service charges, however the benefits of using EFTS and IFM are great, including a reduction in overall costs, staff time, and human error, as well as an increase in efficiency. Using EFTS and IFM, instead of the labor-intensive lending credit program, will enable Denison Library to save money and keep ILL charges down. As of January 1, 2003, Denison Memorial Library will only provide credit for ILLs via the EFTS and IFM options. Libraries that do not use these mechanisms will not receive credits.
A letter, including the amount in lending credits applied on January 1, 2002, has been sent to each library participating in Denison’s lending credit program. Any credits remaining on January 1, 2003 will be replaced with credits accumulated during 2002. Any unused credits remaining on January 1, 2004 will be eliminated. If you need a statement indicating which requests were paid with lending credits, please contact Wendy Sarutzki, ILL Office Manager, at 303-315-5630 or copydocs@uchsc.edu.
The CCML annual meeting will feature a brief presentation and question-and-answer period on EFTS. If you have questions or need assistance, please plan to attend the session.
Thank you for supplying Dension Library with ILLs. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to continuing to work with you to provide excellent ILL services to all of our library users.

The Isabelle T. Anderson collection of library science materials is a project of the Education Committee of the Colorado Council of Medical Librarians (CCML) and is integrated into the Denison collection. Books, videocassettes, audiocassettes and MLA course syllabi are included in this collection. The Education Committee, based on recommendations from CCML members, selects items. Class attendees donate syllabi.
As the 2001/2002 CCML year nears an end, the Education Committee seeks suggestions for the additions to the Isabel T. Anderson collection. If you have seen, read, or heard of a book or audiovisual that might benefit health science librarians, please fill out the request form on the web page: http://denison.uchsc.edu/isabelle.html

2001-2002 was a sometimes hairy but ultimately successful year for CCML, thanks to extra efforts from several of our members.
OUTCOMES OF THE OPERATING PLAN
GOAL ONE: Optimize cooperation and communication among CCML members
Despite personnel changes, the Membership Committee (Sue McGuinness, Amanda Enyeart, Chairs) in close collaboration with the Internet Committee (Lynne Fox, Chair), kept membership information current and accurate. An electronic database on the website is close to reality.
The website has grown as a compendium of information resources for the membership. Our goal was to make sure the CCML calendar, lists of officers and committee chairs, CCML bylaws, information regarding CCML's listserv, budget reports, and information about the Professional Development Fund continue to be available on the CCML web site; advance access to Council Quotes also continues to be a feature. But, to me, the crowning achievement is the quick, readily visible links to meeting information and other information of current interest.
The 2001-2002 printed Journal Locator is on hold at this point, due to a massive change in format in what we get from NLM; the JL Committee (Gene Gardner, Chair) is exploring options such as read-only access to SERHOLD and availability on the website.
Once again we will have an interactive two-way video annual meeting to better benefit and benefit from our members on the Western Slope and Pueblo; videos will be sent to members in Wyoming. The Internet Committee has been coordinating the technical aspects. Financial support for the meeting, at this writing, is coming from Majors Scientific Books, MD Consult, and NNLM/MR, thanks to the efforts of Assistant Meeting Planner Liz Alme.
The Survey Task Force (Roz Dudden, Chair) encouraged qualified MLA members in CCML to enter data in the MLA Benchmarking Initiative, to the point of our having one of the largest if not the largest level of participation in the Midcontinental Region. They have prepared plans to expand it to non-MLA CCML members and tie it to the CCML ILL Survey.
GOAL TWO: Strengthen affiliations between CCML and affiliated groups
Sue Coldren has been our representative in the development of a Statewide Library Plan.
The Membership Committee punctually submitted data for the Joint Membership Directory of COALL, CCML, CLA, CEMA, and SLA. Prez Group had held production of the print and online versions pending the CLA/CEMA merger; further information is presumably forthcoming.
The Internet Committee has added an interlibrary loan resource page to the website.
CCML was represented at every PREZ Group meeting by President Jerry Carlson, President-Elect Jenny Garcia, or Immediate Past President Paul Blomquist, which has enabled us to stay abreast of and support statewide library issues. Accomplishments of Prez Group include the annual Colleague Connection dinner (with CCML represented in working the details by Barbara Wagner) and exploration of Associate Membership in the new Colorado Association of Libraries by the three specialized associations (CCML, COALL, and RMSLA).
Connie Baker has been representing CCML in the Colorado Library Marketing Council.
The Membership Committee has been actively promoting medical librarianship to University of Denver and Emporia University library program students.
GOAL THREE: Respond to the educational and professional needs of CCML members
The Education Committee sponsored three (goal: at least one) MLA credit courses for the CCML Membership. Details are in its report, below.
The bimonthly membership meetings, coordinated by President-Elect Jenny Garcia and Assistant Program Planner Liz Alme, included programs with such topics as web resources on toxicology, law, and from DPL (as well as a physical tour of DPL); sports medicine for our Olympic team; and a rousing victory over RMSLA in a Trivia Bowl. Educational sessions attached to the meetings included new EBSCO resources and reports from the MLA Annual Meeting.
The CCML web site includes links to continuing education information from ACLIN, BCR, CCLS, MCMLA, and MLA.
The Professional Development Fund was promoted to the membership but not used.
The Education Committee continues to acquire and weed materials for the Isabelle T. Anderson Collection according to guidelines.
An I.T.A. Collection Recent Acquisitions page on the CCML web site is still forthcoming.
GOAL FOUR: Maintain an Effective Organization
In the face of increasing workloads decreasing the candidate pool, the Nominating Committee (Glenn Pflum, Chair) overcame tradition to nominate Margaret Bandy, a past President, to take the office once more. She was duly elected at the February meeting. Marianne Morrison was nominated and, in December, elected as Secretary.
The Executive Committee, acting as a Bylaws Committee, drafted several changes to the Bylaws aimed at better fitting the position of President/President Elect into these busy schedules, by reducing the number of meetings, eliminating the official duties of the Immediate Past President, and providing financial support to attend MLA and MCMLA meetings.
The annual membership renewal is underway at this writing.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Education Committee - submitted by Margi Stewart
Members: Margi Stewart, Chair; Dorothy Struble, BJ Croall, Susan Osborn, Amanda Enyeart, Sandi Parker
The committee held its first meeting at AORN on June 22, 2001. All other business was conducted by phone or e-mail for the rest of the year.
No requests were received for the Professional Development Fund
A number of free CE opportunities were presented in Denver. During the week of November 5, 2001, NN/LM brought the following classes to Denison: "TOXNET on the Web" with 7 MLA CE credits; "Keeping Up With NLM’s PubMed, the NLM Gateway and ClinicalTrials.gov"; and "Introduction to Web-Based Searching: Using PubMed, the NLM Gateway and ClinicalTrials.gov."
On February 6, 2002, Denison Library and CCML shared the cost of MLA’s teleconference "Sync or Swim: Managing the Flood of PDAs in Health Care." With a cost of $175.00 to CCML, this presentation was free to all CCML members who earned 1.5 contact hours.
An additional two-part free teleconference sponsored by CCLS was the College of DuPage program on "Virtual Reference Services" that aired on February 8 and April 19, 2002 at two locations, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Aurora Public Library.
Amanda Enyeart promoted upcoming events in Council Quotes and the CCML web page.
As of this report, suggestions for additions to the Isabelle T. Anderson Collection are being taken and purchases will be made before the Annual Meeting in April 2002.
Internet Committee - submitted by Lynne Fox
Members: Lynne Fox, Chair, Barb Griss, Jeff Kuntzman, Catherine Reiter, and Mary Walsh
The Internet Committee maintained and updated the CCML website. This was the first full year that directions to meetings and maps were posted at the web site.
The interactive tele-video Annual Meeting was a success and will be repeated in April 2002. Members from Durango, Grand Junction, and Pueblo have expressed interest in participating.
The CCML discussion list was moved to a UCHSC server in May 2001 by the list-owner, Mary Walsh. This was done to allow greater ease of management. 96 members are subscribed to the list. Mary reports that the list is self?sustaining, requiring minimal routine management.
During the 2001-2002 year CCML members voted to offer an electronic membership directory. The Directory will be offered as a .pdf file. The file name and location will be distributed only to members. Members who still wish to have a hardcopy of the directory will be able to print the directory for themselves. An electronic directory will reduce the cost of printing directories for the members.
Journal Locator Committee - submitted by Gene Gardner
Members: Gene Gardner, Chair; Sandy Arnesen, Sandy Hudock, Catherine Reiter; technical advisor Jeff Kuntzman
A printed CCML Journal Locator was not produced in 2001. The Committee had planned to print a locator in February of 2002, but discovered that the format for downloading the information has changed from the last time the locator was printed.
CCML journal holdings are now available only in HTML format or text, comma delimited format. Each of these formats will require a considerable amount of work to edit into a working locator and preliminary investigation indicates that the document would be extremely large and expensive to produce. The Committee will experiment with editing a small segment from both files to determine what kind of work is involved to produce a printed locator.
The Committee has enlisted the help of Jeff Kuntzman at Denison Library to investigate what our online options might be. One option is to split the HTML large file into smaller files with a simplified search function. Another option is the creation of a database. A database would allow more advanced searches and could be updated quarterly as NLM updates SERHOLD information. This would produce an online product that would be much more current and up to date than any printed locator could ever be.
The Committee will present the alternatives for a 2002 locator at the Annual Business Meeting, April 24, 2002.
Membership Committee - submitted by Amanda Enyeart
Members: Amanda Enyeart (chair), Sue McGuinness (chair, database coordinator), Kelly Near, Debbie Weaver
The membership committee underwent a major personnel shift this year. Both Kelly Near and Sue McGuinness moved out of state. Sue continued duties as database coordinator. Amanda Enyeart agreed to chair the committee, and Debbie Weaver also joined.
Membership renewal for the upcoming year is well on its way. Notices were distributed in late January, and we currently have about half of those returned as paid members. Membership numbers were down somewhat in 2001?2002 compared with the previous year. The membership committee is anticipating that the current renewals will remain fairly steady.
Sue McGuinness will work with Lynne Fox after the data entry for the renewals is completed to post the new directory on the CCML web site in PDF format. This will replace the printed directories for the 2002?2003 year.
President-Elect - submitted by Jenny Garcia
The April 24, 2001 Annual meeting took place in the University of Colorado School of Nursing. Members from Grand Junction and Pueblo were able to join the Denver membership via videoconference. The meeting was also videotaped so that members in Wyoming could watch the tape at a later date. The videoconferencing was sponsored in part by NNLM, Midcontinental Region. EBSCO Subscription Services sponsored a catered lunch and W.T. Cox sponsored refreshments for the break. The program, titled "Personal Diversity," was presented by Kathy Wells and was sponsored in part by Majors Scientific Books. Beth Carlin, from the National Network of Medical Libraries, gave an update on PubMed and Docline.
Porter Adventist Hospital hosted the June 27, 2001 meeting. Members who attended MLA in Orlando shared information in a round table prior to the program. Scott D. Phillips, M.D. explored occupational medicine sites in his presentation, "The Use of the Internet as a Clinical and Scientific Resource."
The August meeting, held at AORN on the 22nd, included a presentation by Wanda McDavid and Marcy Dunning from Access Information on "Legal Medical Resources on the Internet: Links and Sources of Information."
October 31st, the membership meeting was held at Penrose/St. Francis Health Services in Colorado Springs. Edward J. Ryan spoke to the group on "Providing Health Care to the U.S. Olympic Team."
Due to the closure of the library at North Suburban Medical Center in October, the President-Elect had to take a temporary leave of absence from CCML duties while working multiple part time jobs. Liz Alme graciously stepped forward to take over the duties of planning and coordinating the meetings. Her efforts have been greatly appreciated.
The December meeting was a joint meeting of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Special Library Association and CCML held at Denver Medical Library. Rodger Steeper, M.D. challenged the collective trivia buffs of both organizations with a Trivia Bowl. Our esteemed President, Jerry Carlson, astounded everyone in attendance with the amazing amount of library trivia stuffed in the nooks and crannies of his memory.
February 27th the membership met at Denver Public Library. Docent Kendrick King took the rather noisy and slightly unruly librarians on a tour of the library with a brief stop to play with electronic images of the photographs in the Western History Collection. After the tour Elaine Connell and Debbie Weaver gave a virtual tour of some of the electronic resources available at DPL.

Looking for something cohesive and lucid, possibly with a unifying—even uplifting--theme? You should know better by now. What you’ll find here this time is a news update from the world of science. Rest assured that the contents have been certified as patriotic by Attorney General John Ashcroft, working hard to do what is required of him under the intriguingly named USA Patriot Act (keeping track of everything you read and possibly getting rid of the more dangerous and offensive items before they even get to you). His credentials? He’s the guy, you’ll remember, who has covered the shockingly naked upper half of the Lady Justice statue, which had the annoying habit of showing up in photos of Mr. Ashcroft handing out nuggets to the press. But I digress.
It’s the cold and flu season. You’re sniffing and hacking and dripping and whooping and who knows what else. Well here’s some good news from AP Worldstream: “Study: Promiscuous monkeys have stronger immune systems.” Sure it’s only an animal study so far, but chances are that it won’t be a much of a challenge lining up human volunteers.
From the You Think You Have It Bad file (thanks to Catherine Reiter, whose relentless research turned this up): “Widespread pea-sized papules and Gooseflesh Plaques in a 44 year-old woman,” from the Archives of Dermatology. Apparently, under the right circumstances, that strange appearance your skin takes on when you feel a bit of a chill can become your permanent epidermal calling card. Pile on the fleece.
Science Jobs You Really Don’t Want: “Killer whale artificial inseminator.” (an actual occupation, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette) How do you hire for this sort of thing? What are you looking for in the resumé? “In five years I hope to be using my Bachelor of Science degree in the area of shooting giant syringes full of whale semen in the direction of the correct opening in a multi-ton female Killer Whale while not actually being killed in the process, in order to benefit Mankind.” What has happened to Killer Whales that they are no longer capable of doing this naturally? Can you imagine the size of the Viagra tablet that would be necessary to try to handle this problem pharmaceutically?
Science offers one of those articles that, on both first and second glance (assuming no interest in reading more than the title, of course) appears to offer no unique information. “Smell’s course is predetermined.” Of course it is! That’s one of the purposes of having air currents. All of us live in some way or another at the mercy of smells whose course and target are predetermined. As a totally random example, take the case of the Golden Retriever who lives in my home. The predetermined course of her unannounced, silent, gastrointestinal emissions (gaseous form) is toward me…wherever I am. Often my first inkling that I’ve been tracked down again comes when I regain consciousness face down on the carpet, with a dull headache, being licked by the perpetrator.
Science also offers some optimistic advice on “How to find a stellar black hole.” The answer? Fly toward the center of the galaxy for 3000 light years, give or take some incomprehensible number, and then grope around until you’re sucked into a limitless, crushing void, while all of your atoms are returned to their primordial, infinitely small, Big Bangish state. Be sure to write.
We’ve all said it: “If we can send a man to the Moon, why can’t we build a modern, high tech toilet that can do…well…whatever it is that the ones we have now aren’t doing?” BBC News reports that someone has done just that. Twyford, a company in Cheshire, is hard at work on something it calls the Versatile Interactive Pan (yes…the VIP). What’s been missing, it would appear, is a skill on the part of your toilet to monitor what you put in it for signs of medical problems. It has a “voice activated seat” (? “down boy!”), and, of course, flushes automatically (“I told you not to let the Ferret float on his little raft in the VIP!”). An actual quote from Twyford spokesperson Terry Wooliscroft: “We also want to link to the local supermarket. If, for example, a person is short on roughage one day, an order of beans or pulses will be sent from the VIP to the supermarket and delivered that same day.” This would give the folks at the supermarket a lot more information than they have about us now, and, possibly, a little more than some people would be comfortable with. Could it be set to detect low levels of chocolate?
From the Safety Corner: Environmental Science & Technology revealed recently the existence of “fire retardant catfish.” While Science News fails to give this the serious attention it deserves, calling it a “barbecue chef’s dream,” more serious observers can only give thanks for the development of something that will finally eliminate the need for those bulky, unattractive fire extinguishers with their irritating, incessant need to be recharged. A further plus? It’s all natural!

After 8 months without a Library Technician, the AORN Library has made the painful decision to make further cuts in service. The latest casualty is Loansome Doc. Effective immediately, we are discontinuing our Loansome Doc service. This will be bad news to those of you who have referred Loansome Doc patrons to us and wonderful news to those who have borne the brunt of all our Loansome Doc transfers. Thank you to all the libraries that have filled those many, many requests. We will, of course, make every attempt to continue our regular DOCLINE service, but ask that you not put us in cell 1 of the routing table. Thank you very much.

The International Health Services Foundation (IHSF) trains teams of US health care workers to respond to disasters and rebuild health care in undeveloped countries. At present, they are working with the Afghan Minister of Health to reopen and update the Afghan Women's Medical School. Afghan women do not go to male doctors and since the Taliban did not allow female physicians to practice, Afghan women have been without medical care for years. IHFS is also planning to open health care clinics in five areas of the country.
Donations of medical textbooks, especially texts on CD-ROM (since they are easier to transport), and teaching videos are desperately needed. IHSF will pay for shipping or arrange to pick up materials. If you can help by donating books/videos published after 1980, please contact Dr. Patty Beecroft at 719-683-3550 or bharold4@qwest.net
